From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Navicelli Channel is a channel built between 1563 and 1575 to connect Pisa with the port of Livorno.[1] The name originates from the so-called navicelli, small sized Tuscan boats that transported goods on the channel across the Pisan plain from Lake Bientina to the area of Empoli.
